Bryophyte flora of Akdağ Pozantı–Adana/Turkey

Abstract

In this study, bryophyte flora of Akdağ Pozantı - Adana was investigated. At the result of identifications of bryophyte specimens, collected from the research area, 70 taxa 4 liverworts and 66 mosses belonging to 16 families and 37 genera were determined. Among them, Distichium capillaceum Hedw. Bruch & Schimp. is a new record for C13 grid-square according to Turkey grid system which was adopted by Henderson. In addition, the life forms and life strategies of the bryophytes in the area were determined and it was observed that the turf life form and colonists life strategy were dominant. The Bryophyte taxa of floristic list were determined xerophyte, sciophyte and subneutrophyte character

Bryophyte flora of Akdağ Pozantı–Adana/Turkey

Abstract

Bu çalışmada Akdağ’ın Pozantı - Adana briyofit florası araştırılmıştır. Araştırma alanından toplanan briyofit örneklerinin teşhisi sonucunda 16 familyaya dahil 37 cins ve bunlara ait 70 takson 4 ciğerotu ve 66 karayosunu belirlenmiştir. Bunlardan Distichium capillaceum Hedw. Bruch & Schimp. Henderson tarafından benimsenen Türkiye kareleme sistemine göre C13 karesi için yeni kayıttır. Ayrıca alandaki briyofitlerin hayat formları da belirlenmiş ve turf hayat formunun ve kolonist yaşam stratejisinin dominant olduğu gözlenmiştir. Ayrıca, floristik listedeki taksonların çoğunun kserofit kurak , sciofit gölge seven ve subnötrofit yarı nötral karakterde olduğu belirlenmiştir
